Robust ICA for Super-Gaussian Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most ICA algorithms are sensitive to outliers. Instead of robustifying existing algorithms by outlier rejection techniques, we show how a simple outlier index can be used directly to solve the ICA problem for super-Gaussian source signals. This ICA method is outlier-robust by construction and can be used for standard ICA as well as for overcomplete ICA (i.e. more source signals than observed signals (mixtures)).

A robust approach to independent component analysis of signals with high-level noise measurements
We propose a robust approach for independent component analysis (ICA) of signals where observations are contaminated with high-level additive noise and/or outliers. The source signals may contain mixtures of both sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian components, and the number of sources is unknown. Our robust approach includes two procedures. In the first procedure, a robust prewhitening technique i...
متن کاملGeneralized Mixture Models for Blind Source Separation
Neural Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithms based on unimodal source distributions provide acceptable performances in the case of Blind Source Separation (BSS) of super-gaussian sources. However, their convergence profiles are significantly slower in the case of sub-gaussian sources. In some situations it is necessary to deal with sub-gaussian signals in the form of noise or others. ...
متن کاملInlier-based ICA with an application to superimposed images
This paper proposes a new independent component analysis (ICA) method which is able to unmix overcomplete mixtures of sparce or structured signals like speech, music or images. Furthermore, the method is designed to be robust against outliers, which is a favorable feature for ICA algorithms since most of them are extremely sensitive to outliers. Our approach is based on a simple outlier index. ...
متن کاملLocal stability analysis of flexible independent component analysis algorithm
This paper addresses local stability analysis for the exible independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm [6] where the generalized Gaussian density model was employed for blind separation of mixtures of suband super-Gaussian sources. In the exible ICA algorithm, the shape of nonlinear function in the learning algorithm varies depending on the Gaussian exponent which is properly selected acco...
متن کاملUnderdetermined Independent Component Analysis by Data Generation
In independent component analysis (ICA), linear transformation that minimizes the dependence among the components is estimated. Conventional ICA algorithms are applicable when the numbers of sources and observations are equal; however, they are inapplicable to the underdetermined case where the number of sources is larger than that of observations. Most underdetermined ICA algorithms have been ...
